Speak Up

I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to everyone who posts their stories and experiences with meth. Even though meth addiction was a long and painful ordeal for me, I’ll be brief in summarizing my experience here. In a nutshell, I was about as deep into meth as anyone could possibly be for about 3 years. I lost everything (family, friends, jobs, financial assets, all of my possessions, my dignity and self-respect), and ended up doing almost 4 years in jail and prison. The great news is that I finally beat it, and have been 100% clean and sober for almost 4 years now. My main point is there is always hope, you should never give up on yourself. You can beat it too. I’ve written a memoir about my time as a meth addict, and about my path in recovery. The book will be released late this year. I’ll share how to get the book when its released. I believe it’s a must read for anyone who is even thinking about using meth, anyone currently experimenting with meth, or anyone now fully addicted to meth (and their families). Good luck to everybody out there who wants to improve their lives, to free themselves from this horrible drug, to sustain the positive changes they’ve made, and to help others still trapped in the nightmare.
